AVOW’s new OEM playbook opens new growth paths for fintech marketers

Posted: April 9, 2025

AVOW, the award-winning global app growth company specializing in mobile OEM advertising, has released a new industry playbook designed to help fintech app marketers fast-track their user acquisition strategies.

Titled The Mobile OEM Advertising Playbook for Fintech Apps, the playbook delivers concise, insight-driven strategies for acquiring high-quality users through mobile OEM channels and alternative app stores across key global markets. With traditional ad platforms becoming more restrictive and saturated, fintech marketers are under pressure to find alternative, scalable channels that deliver real users, measurable results, and fraud-free performance.

Built for today’s fast-moving finance app ecosystem, the playbook is tailored to marketers in verticals like crypto, neobanking, trading, BNPL, payments, and digital banking, offering practical solutions for overcoming challenges such as rising acquisition costs, increasing platform restrictions, fraud concerns, and user trust barriers.

Unlike previous AVOW resources that offered broad overviews and tactical advice, this new playbook takes a sharper, execution-focused approach. It’s built to be fast to read, easy to apply, and highly relevant to performance-driven growth teams navigating complex ad environments.

What’s inside The Mobile OEM Advertising Playbook for Fintech Apps:

  • Actionable growth strategies for reaching high-intent users through OEM-owned inventory
  • Regional market insights from Southeast Asia, North America, Europe, and more
  • Fraud mitigation advice from MMPs like AppsFlyer and Singular
  • Mobile OEM partner contributions from Xiaomi, OPPO, and Transsion
  • Real-world fintech case studies powered by AVOW’s mobile OEM network

The insights were shaped with input from AVOW’s OEM partners and leading attribution platforms, bringing multiple perspectives to today’s acquisition challenges.

The playbook positions OEM advertising not as a niche tactic, but as a core strategy for sustainable growth — giving marketers access to 1.5 billion daily active users across 86% of the global Android market. Through placements such as preloads, branded app stores, and push notifications, OEMs allow fintech brands to connect directly with high-intent users on-device — bypassing the oversaturation of traditional app stores.

AVOW’s approach also prioritizes transparency and performance. Through integrations with leading mobile measurement partners like AppsFlyer, Singular, Adjust, Kochava, and Branch, fintech advertisers can ensure accurate tracking, campaign optimization, and protection from fraud.

The goal is to equip fintech teams with a resource that prioritizes speed, scale, and strategic clarity.

“This isn’t just another whitepaper — it’s a hands-on guide for fintech growth leaders looking to future-proof their acquisition strategies,” said Robert Wildner, CEO and Co-Founder of AVOW. “We created this playbook to give app marketers the blueprint they need to tap into overlooked channels, scale efficiently, and outpace competitors.”

The Mobile OEM Advertising Playbook for Fintech Apps adds to AVOW’s growing collection of vertical-specific resources — following successful guides for gaming, ad formats, and organic uplift. With this latest release, AVOW reinforces its commitment to helping marketers in highly competitive verticals unlock smarter, safer, and more scalable growth strategies.

It’s a must-read for marketers aiming to gain a competitive edge and future-proof their app growth in an increasingly regulated and fragmented mobile advertising landscape.
